« on: February 11, 2009, 10:59:55 am »
Started a new fortress, buolt a Depot, and went to check... The WHOLE map is red... not just the depot, the MAP according to the tester, no wagons can get to me AT ALL!

You need to cut trees and smooth boulders to get a couple of paths from your depot to the edge of the map.  Then you can build roads to ensure that no trees will grow on the path. 

I think that to be 100% sure, you need to build a smoothed, chopped 3 tile wide path completely around the perimeter of the play area along in addition to one or two a 3x3 cleared smoothed paths from the edge of the map to your depot. 

Start out by just cutting and smoothing two 3 tile wide corridors from your depot to the edge.  That should be good to start.

 Remember: Access checks are started from the Depot. Look at the terrain around the Depot for walls, boulders and trees.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Just make sure you get rid of your other ones.  You only want one depot or traders get badly confused sometimes.

Dooh. I had already conformed myself to not trading with wagons due to believing they hadnt acess anywhere due to my fortress being built in the base of a mountain :)
